i just replaced the head gasket and torqued to spec. And i fallowed the directions to put on the head. but i got it to run by stepping on the pedal then i slowly let off and the idle was weak and died after 2min. with a hole bunch of white smoke. plus i got my head resurfaced before also.

plz help thanks, nico

The white smoke is coolant burning. You probably got some down in the cylinders and it's burning off. Did the smoke get weaker the longer tha car ran?
